June 2nd Approvals:
125 Multifamily units
153 Townhomes over 3 projects
Self-storage
Deferrals / denials:
6-Home SFR
Moreland Multifamily
Moreland Avenue - approved
125 Units coming to Moreland Ave.
The team is led by Jesse Clark / www.clarkprd.com
Most of his projects are 100% affordable units.
But for this one, affordable units aren't required. So they haven't committed to these units being affordable, yet.
81 Townhomes
Historical Kirkwood - approved
Empire Communities is bringing this project forward. They are the same team that did the Paintbox project across the street. - www.empirecommunities.com/paintbox
They also spent 1 year getting neighborhood approvals for this project.
Cascade Square Townhomes
Midwest Cascade - approved
60 For-sale units at $225 per sf. Avg 2200 SF per unit.
This project was met with pushback. Discourse centered around how affordable the units are vs how many there are. The board did not like how many units were on the table.
“I’d be more inclined to be in favor of this if it was a number below 40. But that is an arbitrary number.”
If the built world had an autobiography, they should title it "Arbitrary Numbers".
It was approved when the room was reminded that less units = higher price per unit.
12 Townhomes + 6 Sfr
Ridgedale Park - approved
Team led by RWS Development: www.rwsdevelopment.com
3 Triplexes
North Sylvan Hills - approved
Project by Pegasus Capital Group LLC:
Self-storage
East Tuxedo Park - approved
There is some new storage coming to town. North Atlanta, that is.
This team won a quick approval. The team: Stein Investment Group.
The McWilliams
North Sylvan Hills - deferred
This 6-home SFR was deferred 60 days.
The board didn't like that it was homes were put around a culdesac.
The architect, Thomas Campbell, described how he tried layouts that addressed their comments. But they insisted on deferring to August.
Thank you for being a part of Ultraground.
